RE: CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD PUBLIC HEARING ON GROWTH
CONTROL
Dear Mayor Holcomb:
Recently, the South Coast Air Quality Management District
(AQMD) and Southern California Association of Governments
(SCAG) adopted an Air Quality Management Plan ("Plan")
designed to meet federal air quality standards for this
region by 2010.
One of the key elements of the Plan is a growth management
element which links transportation and wastewater facilities
and the "balanced" development of jobs and housing in order
to meet clean air objectives. Many of these proposals will
intrude upon local government authorities.
In its effort to achieve this jobsjhousing balance, the AQMD
will require that by January 1, 1991, county and city
governments adopt ordinances modifying their General Plans.
General Plans will then have to reflect jobsjhousing balance
ratios and population targets assigned by SCAG/AQMD.
The Plan's Conformity Procedures ("Procedures") are another
mechanism through which a j obsjhousing balance is to be
achieved. These Procedures set forth exactly how local
governments, sewer districts and transportation agencies are
to comply with the Plan's growth management mandates.
AQMD and SCAG reserve to themselves the right to review
local developments within the South Coast Air Basin.
Although the role of SCAG/AQMD is at present only intended
to be advisory, the Plan and the Conformity Procedures
clearly indicate that SCAG/AQMD intend to become
increasingly involved in your local land use decisions.

We feel that the air quality goals set forth in the Plan can
best be achieved by preserving and enhancing existing local
government authorities. The SCAG/AQMD-proposed Procedures
do not now reflect the above policy, and we believe that
further review of the Procedures issue is extremely
important.
Presently the California Air Resources
considering whether to hold a public
Procedures. CARB will schedule a public
sufficient interest is generated during
announced public comment period.
Board (CARB) is
hearing on the
hearing only if
a Soon to be
Attached is a resolution recently approved by the City of
Long Beach which notes the severe impact of the Procedures
and the need for a public hearing. Similar resolutions have
also been approved by the Cities of Pomona and Burbank, and
the County of Los Angeles. Transmittal of such resolutions
to the CARB will put them on notice that local governments
must participate in regulatory processes that delete or
modify existing authorities.
We hope that you will take a personal interest in contacting
the CARB to encourage a public hearing. Any comments or
formal actions on the part of your Board or Council should
be directed to:
Ms. Jananne Sharpless, Chairwoman
California Air Resources Board
1102 "Q" Street
Sacramento, CA 95814 ,
Please send a copy to my office as well.
Thank you for your time and attention.
